Squirrel removal in Toronto was requested by a client who reported hearing persistent scratching and running noises coming from the attic. The sounds were especially noticeable during the early morning and evening hours, which are typical activity times for squirrels. Concerned about possible damage to their home, the client reached out for an inspection and professional removal service.
Upon arrival, our technician conducted a full inspection of both the roof and attic. The attic showed signs of squirrel activity, and the technician identified the entry hole located along the roofline. It was clear that the squirrels had been using this opening as their access point into the home. During the inspection, the technician also noted that the roof and shingles were in poor condition, and the pitch of the roof was very steep, which made the work more challenging and required additional safety precautions.
To resolve the problem, the technician installed a one-way door directly over the entry point. This device allowed the squirrels to safely exit the attic but prevented them from re-entering. Once the one-way door was secured, heavy-duty screening was applied around the vulnerable areas to reinforce the roofline and prevent future intrusions. This ensured that once the squirrels exited, they would not be able to return or create new entry points nearby.
By the end of the project, the home was properly secured, and the client was relieved to no longer hear the scratching and running noises that had caused so much disturbance. The technician also provided recommendations for roof repairs, since the poor condition of the shingles and roofline could create vulnerabilities for future wildlife intrusions.
